Ira Gershwin died today – 25 years ago

Lyricist (of I Got Rhythm and Embraceable You) Ira Gershwin was born as Israel Gershowitz on December 6, 1896 in New York City, New York. He said, “A song without music is a lot like H2 without the O.” [Wouldn’t the lack of music mean that we were just speaking?]... Mr. Gershwin died on August 17, 1983 in Beverly Hills, California.
